• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between
H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level
indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate
the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow
EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator
is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline
engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to be cooler
during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem
with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn white when the gasoline
engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow
EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that
the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge
displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the tachometer
is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Energy Use (Energi only) - Energy Use
provides an energy use gauge and a
climate power gauge in addition to fuel
level and battery display. When you select
EV Now operation this screen will
automatically be shown. You can press OK
to enable the engine when viewing this
screen during EV Now operation. See
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 142).
• Consumption Gauge: Your current
present energy use per distance
traveled is represented by the white
line that moves up and down in the
gauge. A higher line means you are
using more energy (lower is better).
Your energy use includes input from
the accelerator pedal as well as the
accessories, such as Climate Control.
Information Displays

When operating in EV Now a blue cup
shape is shown around the gauge. This
represents the maximum energy usage you
can maintain in order to achieve the
estimated electric range shown on the
battery gauge. Keep your current energy
use mostly within the cup while driving and
you should achieve your electric range
estimate.
• Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high
voltage electrical power demand from
you vehicle's high voltage climate
control components such as the
electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. These components use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
displays power demand in kilowatts
(kW).
